    I appreciate your responce but my job is not to convince anyone of anything. All I am saying is that If we read the Bible at face value, without a preconceived bias for finding errors, we will find it to be a coherent, consistent, and relatively easy-to-understand book. There has always been...

    Can a Christian lose their salvation

    How many Scriptures do you need from God to validate what He said! If YOU muster up enough faith to believe in God then YOU are doing exactly what Ephesians 2:9-9 condemns........WORKS. You can repent, pray, be baptized every day, go to church every week, tithe your income but YOU are still a...

    Can a Christian lose their salvation

    Ephesians 2:8-9......... "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast. " How else could God have had Paul write that Scripture so as to make it any clearer that FAITH is the gift of God...

    Has the Church Replaced Israel ?

    What does that matter? Romans 4:9-13 is your answer my dear friend...... "Does this blessedness then come upon the circumcised only, or upon the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness. 10 How then was it accounted? While he was circumcised, or...

    Those are not errors or mistakes. God first offered the Torah to all the nations of the world, but they rejected it. Thus, the version in Exodus is what the Torah would have looked like had all the nations wished to accept it, and the version in Deuteronomy is for the Jews alone. Thus, the first...

    The Joys of Catholicism

    If Catholics do not engage in idolatry......why is there a statue of Joseph on the right and Mary on the left? You, unfortunity have been taught by the Roman Catholic Church that the images and icons used in the church are not actually “worshiped” but are simply “visual aids” to worship. In...

    I disagree. If we read the Bible at face value, without a preconceived bias for finding errors, we will find it to be a coherent, consistent, and relatively easy-to-understand book. Yes, there are difficult passages. Yes, there are verses that appear to contradict each other. However, we...

    I do not know if I can satisfy your question but I will say to you that the context of this Scripture lies in the fact that Jesus has just healed a demon oppressed man who could not see or speak, likely by removing the demon from him. Suddenly, the man spoke and saw. The change was dramatic...

    Has the Church Replaced Israel ?

    NO! The promises made to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were made to them and not the church. Replacement theology is a false teaching that leads to a spiritualization of the Old and New Testament prophesies regarding the Jewish people. It supports amillennial theology, which teaches that we are now...

    Can a Christian lose their salvation

    Certainly! Romans 8:29-30 "For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers." Ephesians 2:8-9.......... For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the...

    Can a Christian lose their salvation

    Again.........what Scriptures do YOU have to validate your post. You did not post ANY which means that there are none. That makes your post an opinion not based in Biblical Scriptures. You are entitled to your opinion, but that is all it is. Allow me to give you another "opinion"..........The...

    Can a Christian lose their salvation

    Tambora, I think that the Scriptures answers your question clearly............ 1 John 2:19........... "They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not...

    Can a Christian lose their salvation

    Friend..........there is no such thing as a "faithful non-sinner". Scripture says that........"ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God" ! Scripture says that our salvation is the result of God’s sovereignty. You don’t go in and out of the book of life in a...

    Can a Christian lose their salvation

    "Your future is in YOUR hands"???? What Scripture exists that supports that idea! I suggest that you pray over and think about........... Psalm 31:14-15, …"I am trusting you, O LORD, saying, “You are my God!” My future is in your hands…" Psalm 16:5, ..........." You, LORD, are all I have...

    Can a Christian lose their salvation

    Isn't the basis of our salvation on the atoning death and resurrection of Jesus Christ? Ephesians 2:9-9 clearly says that we are saved not by what we do but by the grace of God through faith.
